Adults Therapists in Bend, OR

Hello, my name is Amy, and I too have experienced some of the challenges that life can thrust upon you. It is my passion to pay forward to you, all the things I have learned in order for you to live life to the fullest, without the restraints that mental health issues can bestow upon us. Through laughter, empathy, compassion and relatability I am able to connect with others and meet them where they are at in their life. I will walk along side you through this healing journey, as it is your self determination and a desire for greater well being that has brought you to this moment.

Through empathy and unconditional positive regard, I assist clients in gaining insight, coping skills and the ability to move through their times of difficulty. I believe that it's through connection, understanding and working together that change can begin to happen. I utilize an eclectic approach with a strong reliance on Person Centered Counseling, EMDR, DBT and CBT, to create rapport and a safe place for others.

My office is 5 min. out of Bend by Tumalo Coffee House--a comfy place with table & wall space to do big things, cushy sofas, lots of plants & room for 2 to 25 people to meet. I work with individuals (teens & adults ), groups, & businesses to problem-solve & get more juicy joy out of life & work. I enjoy working with stuck clients who want to make change, develop new strategies & actively work with me as a team including people who are depressed, anxious or low in self esteem, parents who have tough-to-deal-with kids, folks who are career-stuck, business leaders/entrepreneurs who need support, & women who are reaching for the sky.

My goal as a therapist is to help children, teens and adults make positive and lasting change in their lives. By exploring counseling services for yourself or a loved one, you are already making steps toward that positive change. I draw on the unique strengths and strategies that have carried you through life to this moment and collaborate with you to learn new tools. I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment for people from all walks of life where growth can happen.

I provide mental health therapy for individuals (18+) and couples who reside in Oregon. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth sessions. I offer a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship where we work together to address your hopes and fears. Through individual therapy, I will work with you to explore issues in your life that are limiting your ability to experience joy or reach your goals while guiding you towards recognizing and reconnecting with your whole self. Together, we can address what is going on in your life and your relationships so that you can find more peace, connectivity, and satisfaction.

I specialize in working with queer and trans folx. Living in Central Oregon is often very isolating for this population and I would like my practice to support them. My background and training is in supporting pre-teens, teens, and young adults who are being oppressed by the system. I have worked with clients on probation and parole for multiple years and have experience in supporting through that experience. I also focus my practice on non-white individuals, the generational trauma that non-white folx continue to navigate every day.

I understand that the process of therapy can be overwhelming. I applaud you for the first active steps you are taking to seek support. I encourage you to find a therapist that you connect with. The therapeutic rapport is extremely valuable and an instrumental part of healing and growing. It is your choice who you want to share your story with. I have been providing therapeutic support for adults , youth, couples and families for the past 16 years. I hope through meaningful conversations to engage my clients in authentic dialogue that encourages change, reinforces strengths, and helps foster new awareness.

Accepting New Clients! I view therapy as an avenue to transform our pain into our teacher. My role is to provide a safe, trusting relationship for individuals to express themselves, explore their emotions, and probe their patterns and the systems in which they live.

We help people who feel sad, lonely, angry, have experienced a recent loss or life transition, and those who seek to find meaning and purpose amidst stressful, busy lives. We possess a passion for working with children, adolescents, and adults who experience difficult emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or who find it hard to connect with others.

I really enjoy working with people who want more out of life; whether it's to reduce the impact of depression, anxiety, or pain; to move on from past experiences; or just change directions. I love being part of that journey and helping people get closer to a "life worth living." We all have a truth and a sense of when we are living in tune with the person we feel we were meant to become. Trauma, addictions, and other mood conditions force us to feel separate from that truth, and I am looking to work with people who want to reconnect with it.

Accepting new clients for individual therapy via video sessions only! We all deserve to be seen and heard in our journey through life. I specialize in working with teens (16+), young adults , and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, and being LGBTQ+.

Accepting new clients! I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment for all clients, allowing the counseling relationship to encourage client growth and wellness. I work within a relational perspective acknowledging the importance of the relationships and connections the client has with themselves, others, and within the counseling relationship. I view my role as allowing clients to express themselves, identify their emotions, and work through identified patterns and struggles. I utilize play therapy, mind body awareness, and trauma-informed care to all clients and families to aid in healing for clients.
